I know - I felt bad cause FFX is probably just as sore as me this morning!

Hey, no problem. I'm OK this morning. By the looks of my shirt I must have willed myself to pull in my arms and land on my shoulder/side. Obviously I've been instilled with some sort of proper fall training from my years of skateboarding in middle school. There were no cellphones back then, so survival was key in the Western PA suburbs.

Whew, had to look that one up and ouch, that doesn't sound good. Rest, relax and hope you feel better soon.

Yeah - the good ole' hip socket. I wonder if the injury is due in part to the mechanics of riding fixed-gear. I can't recall exactly where my pedal stroke was when I went down, but the upward force of the pedal on my leg may have been part of the cause. The fracture is on the socket, where the femur sits - upward force may have been enough pressure to fracture. Kind of like cracking a mortar with a pestle...if that analogy makes any sense.
